Why doth the Lord stand off so far?
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P10 (1766) Topics: Complaint Pride, Atheisim, Oppression, etc. Lyrics: 1 Why doth the Lord stand off so far?
And why conceal his Face,
When great Calamities appear,
And Times of deep Distress?
2 Lord, shall the Wicked still deride
Thy Justice and thy Power?
Shall they advance their Heads in Pride,
And still thy Saints devour?
3 They put thy Judgments from their Sight,
And then insult the Poor;
They boast in their exalted Height,
That they shall fall no more.
4 Arise, O GOD, lift up thine Hand,
Attend our humble Cry;
No Enemy shall dare to stand,
When GOD ascends on high.
Pause.
5 Why do the Men of Malice rage,
And say, with foolish Pride,
"The GOD of Heav'ns will ne'er engage
"To fight on Zion's Side."
6 But thou for ever art our Lord,
And pow'rful is thine Hand,
As when the Heathen felt thy Sword,
And perish'd from thy Land.
7 Thou wilt prepare our Hearts to pray,
And cause thine Ear to hear;
He hearkens what his Children say,
And puts the World in Fear.
8 Proud Tyrants shall no more oppress,
No more despise the Just;
And mighty Sinners shall confess
They are but Earth and Dust. Scripture: Psalm 10 Languages: English

Through All the World a Hungry Christ
Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #213 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Oppression Lyrics: 1 Through all the world a hungry Christ
must scavenge far for daily bread,
must beg the rich for crumb and crust.
We are the rich, the daily fed.
2 Beyond the church a leper Christ
takes each untouchable by hand,
gives hope to those who have no trust,
whose stigma is our social brand.
3 In torture cell, a pris'ner Christ
for justice and for truth must cry
to free the innocent oppressed
while we at liberty pass by.
4 We do not know you, beggar Christ,
we do not recognize your sores,
we do not see, for we are blind:
forgive us, touch us, make us yours.

In Christ We Live
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #326 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Oppression First Line: In Christ we live, whose life was more Lyrics: 1 In Christ we live, whose life was more
than teaching love and doing good.
In Christ we meet, whose trust in God
derision, fear, and hate withstood.
2 In Christ we hope, whose death exposed
the evil bent, the tragic flaw
in leaders, followers, and friends,
religion, government, and law.
3 In Christ we grieve the trampled lives
of people shunned, abused, oppressed.
In Christ we ow to serve the weak
and lobby for the dispossessed.
4 And if we find out how and when
to show them they are not alone,
we will not proudly be their voice,
but humbly help them find their own.
5 Their kindness, anger, or distrust
are angels, calling us to see
the fear, the need to have and hold,
that frame our own captivity.
6 In Christ we live, and life is more
than learning love and doing good,
so praise, and pray, and trust in God
who makes the earth our neighborhood. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 Languages: English Tune Title: O WALY WALY

live out your creed and risk your life for God alone:
the God who wears your face, to whom all worlds belong,
whose children are of every race and every song.
2 Community of Christ, look past the church's door
and see the refugee, the hungry, and the poor.
Take hands with the oppressed, the jobless in your street,
take towel and water, that you wash your neighbor's feet.
3 Community of Christ, through whom the word must sound–
cry out for justice and for peace the whole world round:
disarm the pow'rs that war and all that can destroy,
turn bombs to bread, and tears of anguish
into joy.
4 When menace melts away, so shall God's will be done,
the climate of the world be peace and Christ its Sun;
our currency be love and kindliness our law,
our food and faith be shared as one for evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI
